About FIVE o'clock yesterday morning, Roland
J. Sawyer. son of Mr.. A. G Sawyer, of this
| city, was firing a toy cannon, in company
with other boys. The charge hanging fire,
young Sawyer was fixing the fuse when the
powder flashed up into his face filling the
right side OF it and also the eye with powder.
When taken into the house he was a hard
looking sight, and it WAS feared that his eye
was ruined DR.. Simmons was called as
soon as possible, and did what he could for
the boys relief, and at the present time he is
not suffering much pain, though obliged to
remain in dark room The doctor thinks
that the eye will be saved. If the burn is
severe enough to cause the face to peel, a
large part of the powder will come off.
